Let's see, first TNA loses its TV deal and now this? It's like ECW and WCW all over again which means.
Oh lord no...
Please don't let Vince buy them out!

Yeah, ROH has been purchased by a middle-aged philanthropist by the name of Dixie Carter. I'm sure this will end well. WWE, get ready to be overtaken, sugar!

Best time to sell is when the company is on top... So makes sense so they can make money off of it.

Wrestling historically has been used to get networks going and then dropped once they have footing. Makes sense to sell now. Dixie buying ROH and bringing in Russo scares me tho.

Part of me finds it hard to believe since there has been no real rumor from anywhere but JR, however I can see it happening since Sinclair likes to run things cheaper than than dirt which you cannot really do in wrestling.
Though Spike likes having wrestling so maybe...

Though Spike likes having wrestling so maybe... That's what I'm saying. Their ppv did gangbusters for a ppv with no promotion, and the company's first live one. If the rumor is true, the channel has to be looking at ROH as a bigger money maker than TNA. I know, the channels don't get a cut of the ppv revenue, but the fact that with no promotion fans were more willing to spend money on ROH than a TNA show with promotion, is favorable to advertisers.

This could be a good thing. ROH does well with house shows, but their production needs to be improved.
If someone with a decent backer buys it, it could do really well.
lol IF ROH takes that Thursday time slot on Spike. Maybe Spike knows the only way they'll get a mega star, is if they get an alternative company.
CM Punk would work for ROH again, he'd never ever work for TNA

CM Punk would work for ROH again, he'd never ever work for TNA The only place Punk will wrestle is WWE, and that may be a few matches. Don't forget his wife is in the company.

Part of me feels like ROH would be able to take advantage of being on Spike so much better than TNA, and that I'd love to see it.
The other part of me is terrified of Spike mucking with ROH.
Then I remember that I haven't actually watched ROH since 2008, so whatever they change it into won't be ruining the ROH that I knew, anyway.
So what the hell, I'm for it.

The PPV did gangbusters? It did well for its limited exposure, but with Spike TV exposure to promote TNA's PPVs, their numbers are higher.
